Default I went to another Walmart

I've been going to my Walmart hoping to get some HPs for my 9mm but no luck. At home I got online and looked at the map. There's another Walmart about 4-5 miles from my Walmart so off I went. Still no 9mm besides the Champs but I saw an interesting box so I bought it for $22.95.

I got online to see the reviews and it's mixed, some say it's junk and some say get it while you can but I saw some videos that pretty impressive. It's got an interesting story behind it.

That's impressive even though the penetration wasn't quite adequate but the cavity there means it's gonna hurt.

How deep was not quite adequate? Remember, you are not the FBI and you probably won't be firing into a car through the windshield and 4 layers of denim.

That Federal ammo is not bad at all and will do what it's meant to do...

I see what you mean, you're right. Us ordinary Joes don't need FBI stuff.

What it means is you as an armed civilian, will never be expected to stop a vehicle carrying criminals that given the chance would kill you without a second thought.

Ok, went to the range today and shot my Sigma 9mm and Sig P250 40sw. Took 20 of these rounds along with 2 boxes of my usual loads.

It's pretty hot and shot low from my POA. I had to raise my front sight a little to put 'em in the circle so it's not bad. I shot 40 of 180s and it's back to my POA.
